Another winner from Gina's Weight Watchers recipes. I loved, loved this chicken. I have been going through one of my meat aversion phases where I am just not all that stoked to eat meat and I still loved this one. I served this over Dreamfields low-carb pasta and topped it off with Giada's Simple Tomato Sauce (another favorite recipe).
The chicken cooked up perfectly breaded and crispy and went so well with tomato sauce and spaghetti, but you could lower the calories by serving it without pasta. The leftovers were actually equally as good, and this one is definitely going to be a regular at our house.
Ingredients:
4 (8 oz) chicken breast halves, sliced in half horizontally
3/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter, melted
3/4 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese
1 cup marinara
cooking spray
1 cup marinara
cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450°. Spray a large baking sheet lightly with spray.
Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Melt the butter in another bowl. Lightly brush the butter onto the chicken, then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Place on baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken.
Lightly spray a little more cooking oil on top and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Turn chicken over, bake another 5 minutes. Remove from oven, spoon sauce over chicken and top with shredded cheese. Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
